当前形势下，我们希望相关各方都能从大局和长远出发，履行各自应尽的责任和义务，站到历史正确的一边。中方将继续秉持公正、客观和负责任态度，继续为维护全面协议作出不懈努力，同时也将坚定维护自身正当合法权益。

　　问：美方是否已对中国予以豁免，允许中方从伊朗进口石油？

Under the current circumstances, we hope that relevant parties will bear in mind the larger and long-term interests, fulfill due responsibilities and obligations and stand on the right side of history. With a fair, objective and responsible attitude, the Chinese side will continue to make unremitting efforts to uphold the JCPOA and firmly safeguard its own legal and legitimate rights and interests.

Q: Has the US government granted China an exemption from sanctions on the oil import from Iran?

　　答：我们已多次阐述中方相关立场。中方一贯反对单边制裁和“长臂管辖”。中国和伊朗在国际法框架下开展正常合作，合理、合法，理应得到尊重和维护。

　　问：据报道，针对美方日前宣布要单方面退出《中导条约》，有人认为应将《中导条约》变为多边条约，中国和北约成员国应加入。中方对此有何评论？

A: We have stated China's position on many occasions. China is always opposed to unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction. The normal cooperation between China and Iran within the framework of international law is legal and legitimate, which should be respected and safeguarded.  

Q: According to reports, given that the US recently announced it would unilaterally pull out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty), some believe the INF Treaty should be changed into a multilateral deal which includes China and NATO members. What's your reaction to that?

　　答：中方已经多次表明在此问题上的立场。《中导条约》是美苏之间达成的条约，是双边性质的条约。条约对于缓和国际关系、推进核裁军进程，乃至维护全球战略平衡与稳定均发挥了重要作用，在今天仍具有十分重要的意义。单方面退约将造成多方面消极影响。中方反对美单方面退约，反对《中导条约》多边化。

　　中国奉行防御性国防政策，在军事力量发展方面一贯采取极为克制的态度，无意也不会对其他任何国家构成威胁。

A: The Chinese side already stated its position on this issue for many times. The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty) is a bilateral agreement signed by the United States and the former Soviet Union. It has played an important role in easing the international relations, moving forward the nuclear disarmament process and safeguarding global strategic balance and stability. It is still highly relevant today. Unilaterally withdrawing from the treaty will have negative effects on many aspects. The Chinese side opposes the unilateral withdrawal of the US side as well as the multilateralization of the INF Treaty.

China follows a defense policy that is defensive in nature. We have been highly restrained in building up our military and have no intention to and will never pose threats to any other country.
